Is maxx exactly 1.0000???
If you type:
maxx=1.
And then execute all "ifs" . All print "true"
If you type
maxx=1.000000000001
help,maxx
MAXX FLOAT = 1.00000
But now all ifs are wrong except last one, because print and help don't
show the real value of maxx.
Try printing with format.
So the question is, How do you get maxx?

Hi David,
maxx is the correlation coefficient of some data series. It should be
exactly 1 if two data vectors are equal - but it isn't - so now I run
into bigger problems with the inbuilt correlate function . Anyway,
thanks for your hint.
